The root `ci` script was never what runs in GitHub CI, and the name worked
against us three ways: it collides with the built-in `npm ci` (which does
something else entirely and is one keystroke away), it invites the
cross-engine passes into a workflow by looking like the thing a workflow
should call, and it blurs "GitHub CI" and "the local gate" in every doc
that names it.
- Rename `ci` → `local:gate` and `ci:storybook` → `local:storybook`, with
no back-compat alias: `npm run ci` now fails with npm's missing-script
error, which prints the available scripts.
- Add `scripts/lib/workflow-gate.mjs` + its `test:scripts` suite, which
runs over the repo's real `.github/workflows/**` and fails on an
invocation of a `local:*` script, of a non-Chromium engine pass (derived
from SUPPORTED_BROWSERS), or of `smoke:web:engine`, or on `SMOKE_BROWSER`
set to anything but a literal `chromium`. It does not forbid
`npm run smoke`, `smoke:web:chromium` or `smoke:tui` — those belong in CI
and are there today. Comments are not scanned, so the workflow can still
explain itself. This is the durable half; the rest is prose.
- Document the two-tier model once, in the root README ("Two tiers: GitHub
CI and the local gate"), and point the other docs at it rather than
restating the split.
- Sweep the ~40 stale references across README, AGENTS.md,
.github/copilot-instructions.md, the client READMEs, the roadmap doc and
the script headers. AGENTS.md and copilot-instructions.md change
together, per the mirror rule.
No gate changes what it actually runs.
